xcsedit & xcsswap

[yarrow]

hi all

 

I happily share 2 of my ( very ) old editors for ufo and terror

both are Win9x applications and will NOT work under DOS environment

( no DosBox, sorry )

 

both are just save editors, they are simple and useful ( at least to me )

their main purpose is to reduce pointless soldier micro-managing

( tedious and repeatable things, like sacking psi-useless or poor stat soldiers )

 

 

xcsedit is most useful for:

- MASSIVE updating and especially sacking of soldiers ( ie. after first psi training )

- after mission stat-strings update, which can be repeated

( it recognizes previous stat-strings, even additional chars like '--', '-', '+, '++' )

- sorting by rank and mission count if rank is the same

( so rookies/veterans comes first, it is selectable )

- healing wounded soldiers ( ressurection not available )

- modification of stats include: psi/mc strength, psi/mc skill, firing accuracy and reactions

( most important stats anyway ... I am judge dread here )

 

side note:

armor STAYS with soldiers

so don't blame me, if you sacked soldiers with armor

 

stat-strings are configurable ( 1 or 2 chars only! )

via simple config file, which you can edit for your needs ( default will be created if none exist )

config also save your last choices, so you don't have to click on everything again and again

( unlike XCom, it remembers your ... 'equipment' choices )

 

 

xcsswap is a very simple program that does only two things

- swaps 2 soldiers in their slots ( and position in a initial deployment )

- reorder slots ( which I found is useful sometimes )

searching for empty slots and other useful functionality included

 

both are self explanatory ( and a simple howto is build-in )

I tested them, and they works on:

Win9x, WinXP and Wine ( PLD 1.0 )

 

<tech info>

before dynamic library smart-ies tear me apart ( for ... 'big size' )

have you installed in your system, borland c++ builder 3.0 run time libraries?

yep, thats why I statically linked them to avoid *.bpl and *.vcl madness

</tech info>

 

have fun
